The lines wont be that long, for the Tiger release there was at most 100 people in line before the store opened. Most non-fanboy Apple users have no clue about the release and wont be waiting in line
I heard Tiger was released in stores at six pm too, but when I pre-ordered mine it came in the mail around noon... so anyone still thinking about pre-ordering, do it and you can have it installed and have time to play with it before you show up at the Apple Retail Store to party "all night."
i must agree with a friend's email from early this morning when she said:
"I'm sorry. "All Leopard, all night?" That's lame."
"I'm sorry. "All Leopard, all night?" That's lame."
For those who didn't get the e-mail, Apple has also posted the invite to their "Hot News" RSS feed. It links to this page.
All things considered, however, the mini is a really nice Mac. It may be the slowest model, but it's still pretty darn fast. (Especially compared to the two G4 systems I'm using now
)
What makes you think there will be extras? 500 people over the course of a 4-hour rollout event seems pretty likely to me.
I don't plan on buying it that night. I'll wait for some reviews to come in and, depending on what I see, I may wait for the first service pack. I also need to find out if FileMaker 6 works (FM says they have only tested version 9, which needs to be fixed for Leopard compatibility.)
It would be nice if the mini would get a convenient door/panel for upgrading memory, like the one on the bottom-edge of the iMac. But I'm not counting on it either.

I just chuckled thinking,
"So what are you supposed to be?" "I'm the Finder."

Yeah, Jobs is right. Sony has followed that same path. They no longer sell desktop towers. Sony only sells the AIO desktop. They are following the majority. Most people buy computers and sit them on their desk and never upgrade a thing until it's time to buy the next computer. The mini is here for price and the Mac Pro is here for people who have to have a tower. The iMac is the power and portability model.
And yet the most popular change in PC design in the last 5 years is the "Shuttle" form factor...
People like having a separate monitor...especially people with iMac experience...the first time you have an iMac screen go "fuzzy" on you is the last time you think it is a good idea to strap a hot display directly to a heat-phobic hard drive, graphics card, processor and motherboard.
The gap between the mini and the mac pro (physically) is comical.
Apple is basically selling a Chevy Aveo (mini), a Corvette Z-06(macpro), and a Trailblazer (imac).
Most people need an impala or malibu-sized vehicle...

For what it's worth, I stood in line for Windows 98. 95 was that bad, and I had a voucher from Best Buy after some hardware upgrades.
I'm there! Oh what an embarrassment I truly must be to my family. Oh well, Leopard here we come!
No most people don't "need" that or they wouldn't settle for the iMac. They can go to PC land. The general consensus is that most people don't upgrade their computer pass the ram.
someone want to give me a new macbook to replace my powerbook G4 so I can be excited about leopard?
jk unless you want to.
OH Right away! What's your address?
BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Oh, man, that was funny.
I went to one of these around 2000 or 2001 in the Glendale, CA store. It was a lot of trash bag zombies in t-shirts and jeans watching totally average video in the back of the store, hoping for a key to the future. Was nothing you couldn't find out elsewhere in 1/3rd the time.
But, it is a sense of community. I guess. Gives people something to live for if they have nothing else in their lives. Or if they are converting over and deathly scared and confused.
I just chuckled thinking,

Haha. Yeah, I'm figuring most people will think I'm in the Blue Man Group.
It's TRUE!
Maybe we'll go some place a bit less classy than usual and I can get away with it.
EDIT: just 7 more posts!!!
Look for new MacPros loaded with Leopard 10.5.1 to be announced at Macworld in January to buoy post-x-mas spending.are the tshirts only given to those who purchase or those who are the first 500 to get in the store?
